Mando Group team up with charity, CALM

Posted by: Amalie Bowen-Jones | 15 May 2008

CALM LogoToday Mando Group teamed up with the charity, CALM to help win the World Record for number of t-shirts to be worn at one time.

Around 3 young men in Britain kill themselves each day. CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably) is all about helping these young men to fight against this misery.

The reason behind the challenge is to raise money so they can launch their new, unique webchat and texting support services. The CALM website already offers articles and information to people who need help and there is also a helpline which allows callers to talk to professionals anonymously and in confidence. But they are hoping the launch of these new services will encourage more men out there to seek support when they need it.

CALM are getting businesses like us involved to help with the World Record Challenge. Each company donates £100 and in return get their company logo printed onto one of the world record setting t-shirts. We will also receive a t-shirt to put up in our office.

Over the next few weeks, the piling on of the t-shirts will be captured on film and will be viewable online; the businesses that have already signed up have got their logos showing on the website below:

You don’t have to be a business to sign up so if you fancy entering a t-shirt with your face on it to help this worth while cause, register today.

I don't know if I qualify as a young man anymore now that I'm in my thirties(!) but I've been affected by depression in the past and it's a seriously debilitating illness. I'll be lobbying my bosses to try and get them to sign up :-)
